Several erro;;;, having been made in the copies of the nddj-csses of the Legislative Council to the Quc.cn, and Prince Albert: we now insert them

correctly :

To the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty ;

" We, the members of the Legislative Council of New South Wales, participating in the uni-versal joy diffused throughout the British Em-pire on the occasion of your Majesty's auspi-cious mnrragc with His Royal Highness Prince Albert, of Saxe Cobourg and Gotha, venture to approach Your Majesty wifh our loyal, duti-ful, and affectionate gratulations on an event so deeply affecting Your Majesty's domestic happi-ness, and so identical with the welfare of Yçur Majesty's loyal people.

expressing our share of the joy and satisfaction manifested throughout the empire nt seeing the heartfelt wishes of a faithful people fulfilled, by Your Majesty's choice of n Consort distinguished by a descent so illustrious, and by a character so formed to support and adorn His exalted station. The felicitous concurrence by such an alliance, of domestic bliss »vith a people's pros-perity, constitutes nu epoch in the history of our common country, which eminently evokes the warmest acclamations of national feeling. In this feeling we, the Legislative Council of this territory, most cordially unite, and ardently pray, that n relation formed under such happy auspices, may give assurance of unalloyed feli-city in assuaging the cares of Royalty, and impart enduring renown to Your Majesty's

" To Field MarshalMfis Iioyal Highness Prince

Albert, of Saxe Cobourg and Gotha,§c, &¡c. "The Legislative Council of New South Wales, emulating with Her Majesty's other Subjects in evincing joy and satisfaction on Her Majesty's auspicious Union with Your Royal Highness, hasten to express the sense which they entertain of Her "Majesty's discrimination in choosing a Consort whose illustrious Ancestry, and distin-guished personal endowments, augur the domes-tic happiness of our beloved Sovereign, mid guarantee their sanguine anticipations of pros-perity to the Reign of Her Majesty. The auspicious event which has invoked the heartfelt sympathies of British Subjects in the more immediate vicinity of the Royal Nuptials, is not, We beg to assure Your Royal Highness less sensibly appreciated in this remote part of Her Majesty's Dominions. We, the members of the Legislative Council of Australia, therefore ani-mated by like emotions, beg to, offer to the Consort of our Gracious Sovereign, our warm, and hearty congratulations, on an event which, whilst it is auspicious of His own felicity, is no less acceptable to the generous aspirations of Her Majesty's liege and loving subjects."

Co \LS -Wc cannot bufcregrct tint in speaking of the Australian Agricultural Companj's coal monopolj, parties should use harsh language which we consider altogether uncalled for, for up to the present time, the monopolj lins been achantageous to the Colonists, b\ supplying them viltb coals at i moderate inte, and now that thej are not able to do so, the monopoly is at an end 1 lie oui) reflection that can fairly be cast upon the Company, is, that w ltlt their great means, they lune not made arrangements to meet the present demand, which ought to lia\e been foreseen Hie Company lune a second shaft nearly ready, winch is intended to supply the place of the shaft at present in use, which is worked out The demand for Coals is now so gieat, that two shafts could not supply the quantity required, and ns the demand is daily increasing, there is no fear of the Company not being able to sell the Coals that they can raise Hie summer is now setting in, and the demand will be slacker for the ne\t few months, during which we have no doubt the Company will make every exertion, by allowing their men to work extra hours, to get as large a stock on hand as porsible
